I guess what I'm saying is that unless you belong to a particular culture or milieu, your chances of interacting with a gun owner or ever seeing a gun will be slim.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen one in real life, and probably half those time it was because being a freak in the south was antagonistic to people (even more so decades ago).

The one and only time period I had any concerns about guns was after someone popped off a couple of shots at one of the drugs dealers that lived across the street in seattle, and that was only because I didn't really know what the history was there between the different people so I was bit concerned for a while about being caught in some kind of crossfire since I didn't know if was part of some longstanding beef or if it would turn into one.

Is Mr Rock actually that big of a deal in musical terms, or was he, once? It's just that he gets a lot of exposure but I couldn't name or recognise even one of his tunes. It seems he's had a second career as a right-wing culture-warrior/professional embarrassing-drunk-uncle-at-a-wedding.

Luka’s blog ‘heron bones’ was before my time but it was mostly about kid rock and adjacent artists I think

I'm trying to think who's Kid Rock-adjacent. For some reason my brain is suggesting Pitbull, although he's probably too recent.
